It was sort of a short-term relationship though. When the Winnipeg franchise was jettisoned to Phoenix, Selanne moved on to Anaheim.

And when the Jets returned this season, Selanne also made his return to Winnipeg for one of the most anticipated games of the season. This time, however, Selanne returned as an opponent.

The fans of Winnipeg, though, cheered Selanne as if he was still one of their own… and maybe he is.

With numerous standing ovations, cheers and chants, the fans of Winnipeg showed Selanne why he will always be one of their own.

And so there’s one question that’s on everyone’s mind.

It was on everyone’s mind before he returned to Winnipeg, during the game in which he returned, when he left Winnipeg back in December and still now, today.

What if Teemu Selanne returned to play for Winnipeg for one last season?

It would be a dream come true for the many Jets fans that would still like to see him return to Winnipeg.

I, however, haven’t sided either way. It would be a storybook tale if Selanne returned to the Jets, but I don’t have the same passion for him as most Jets fans, simply because I wasn’t a fan of the old Jets franchise.
